The accusations ceased to be as sertions and opinions of honest men and became Blandera of foiled and beaten suborners of corruption. The country, which had been deceived by the apparent earnestness and honesty of Tilden and his agents, began to realize the intense hypoc risy of all that Marble had written and Pelton had circulated. This fabric of alleged fraud, thus fallen, was what the reported the majority is endeavoring to build up again and upon tne olu lounda- tions. No wonder, then, that they preferred to make a separate report on the deny that it was even attempted by peaceful methods. Resolutions of conventions for Northern consumption were passed, but fruud and violence were resorted to and even both inflicted. We assert that supporters of Tilden to carry that election did resort to most open, illegal voting, fraud and personal violence. After reciting the duties of the Heturn-ing Board, the report goes on to criticise the conduct of the Florida Board. Threats of personal violence in the State were made against a member of the Returning Board by Democrats and lie was followed by armed men at night to his house from sessions of the canvassers, and a distinguished representative of the Democratic party endeavored to influence his action by oilers of money.

It is a notorious lact that tho Kotlis- raDori 0 ,h maioritv. both as to the were forced to admit the receipt and trans' mission of criminating dispatches, each and all of them. Colonel Pelton, whose appearance before the committee was really pitiable, seemed to have been selected to bear the largest Bhare of the burden. Mr. Manton Marble occupied a different situation. He had, prior to Oc tober, 1878, taken a conspicuously hightoned position. He had written the Ark and Shechaniah letter and had otherwise conducted himself loftily before mankind. He could not, therefore, avoid an attempt to preserve himself. It was not for him to take the bold position of Mr. Smith Weed, that it was right to use stolen goods from robbers. Such an ark of refuge would have wrecked hira long before reaching Ararat. Nevertheless the committee had two propositions to buy the Florida Return- Tilden electors, including those bearing gifts, among all the supporters of Tilden electors in 1 lorida in attendance, including those who threatened assassination, with the aid of private detectives, who, in consultation with the majority of the committee, have been hunting for testimony, no one has been found to testify to a fact bearing against the honesty and fairness of the Republican mem- Ders ot tne uoard oi state canvassers ot Florida. The attack on GcnorsLNoyes is denounced as unwarranted, there being no evidence that he held any questionable communication witli any of the State Canvassers. As to the result of the Florida election, adopting the rule contended for by tne majority report, mat the canvassing Board could only canvass the county returns by aggregating the vote appearing upon their face for the respective candidates, Hayes electors had forty majority.

La Franco says significantly, the rumor of the approaching conversion of five per cent, rentes was promulgated by men notoriously intimate with Leon Say. An other correspondent says the conversion would have become a necessity ot the Budtret committee had it declared there for by electing German President. As soon as it was known they had not done so, Say communicated with the Cabinet, deprecating the conversion and com- munioated the Cabinet's decision to the syndic of brokers. The latter are ac countable for delaying the publication of the announcement ot t lie action ot the Budget committee.

The Army AiiDronriation bill will also doubtless fail of enactment, the committee of conference having come to dead-lock in regard to the House clause prohibiting the presence ol troops at the polls under any circumstances.

Mr. Allison made a report from the com mittee of conference on disagreeing to the amendments to the Hlvcr and Harbor bill, and it was agreed tn. On motion ot Mr, nruce, Chairman ot the committee on the Mississippi Levees, the Senate took up the House bill reported by linn ti-om that committee, providing for the organization of a Mississippi Improvement Commission, the deepening of that river ond protection of alluvial lands. It appropriates $250,000 for the payment of expenses and for surveys. The work is to be executed from time to time as appropriations may be made for the purpose. The senate disagreed to tne motion oi Mr. Chandler to lay the bill on the table- yeas lti, nays 34. Mr. Edmunds said it was necessary there should be a brief Executive session, and made a motion accordingly. Disagreed to. HOUSE. The first hour was pnssed in disposing of Borne of the business on the Sneaker's table. Hills in relation to the Northern Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads were referred to the committee of tho Whole; hi Is relating to homestead settlements on public lands within railroad limits were passed ; the conference report on the Fortification bill was agreed to by a strict parly vote. The report of the committee on Expenditures in the State Department for the impeachment of George F. Seward, was then taken up. Mr. Conger tried to interpose a motion to refer the Seward impeachment case to the Judiciary committee, hut the Speaker refused lo recog-nizo hira, ruling that Mr. Springer was entitled to tlie lloor. The report of the majority of the committee on Expenditures in tlie Stnto Department was then read. It presents seventeen articles of impeachment against George F. beward, and concludes with a resolution directing thnt said Seward lie impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors while in office; providing for the appointment nt bcvcii members to proceed immediately to the bar of the Senate and there impeach said Seward in the name of the House nnd people of the United States, ond for the appointment of seven managers to maintain and support impeachment procced-cecdings in the Senate. The views of the minority were then read. Theyrecite tlie diflicnltics ol the position of tlicShanghai Consulate in the early years of Seward's administration of the office, when he was young and inexperienced; the inadequacy of clerical assistance furnished him, and that Seward was justified in retaining those books, and yet the fact of his retaining them had been made the ground for one article of impeachment. Mr. Springer said lie had been instructed to withdraw that article. Mr. Hanna suggested that the gentleman from Illinois could not withdraw it. It was before tlie House as a report from his committee. If he could withdraw it, the prosecution was by Mr. Springer, not by his committee. Mr. Banks This is a charge of viola tion of principles of the House, and such a question will interrupt any other one. It will take any member off' the floor. It is a question of the highest privilege. The Speaker DoeB the gentleman say that it can interrupt a question of im- peacnmeill ill 11 lunuu niueert Mr. Banks I sav it unreservedly and unquestionably liccauso it concerns the privileges of the House and the liberty of a citizen. Mr. Garfield There is a proceeding begun in the first place to bring n party before the House lor contempt, and he ib under arrest. He is logically, technically in ourcustody. Our hand is upon him. He is by us restrained of his liberty. While thnt restraint is still on him, a popnsitinn is made to impeach him. First, it is a question of personal liberty, and then a question of judicial proceedings against him. The "personal liberty" feature is the higher privilege. It ought to lie heard first. The man ought to be free when we proceed to impeach him, to put htm "in chains." To strike him when he Is in chains, to say that we will follow the law nf Khodamanthus, punish and then hear, is not American law, is not American liberty. Mr. Sparks of Illinois Is the man re strained of his liberty? Mr. Garfield Yes. Mr. Sparks I see liim sitting in (he diplomatic gallery yonder; he looks free. Afler further discussion of the point, in which practices of the courts of law were relerred to, the Speaker said the 1 Hair doesunt propose to discuss court practice. In such proceedings as have been cited the duty of the Chair is to administer the rules only. If left to his own volition the Chair would prefer to go at once to tlie decision of the qilestion that detains n citizen in custody. But tho House haB decided to consider tlie report presented by the gentleman from Illinois (Springer). That gentleman Ib on the floor discussing the question, nnd the rules do not allow him to his appropriation of certain consulnr fees be taken off the lloor except in a manner as provided by the rules. That is, by a motion to adjourn, entertaining a motion to reconsider or a conlerence report. The Chair therefore decides that it is not com petent for one committee to interfere with a repon irom anouicr coniriimee, wnen tlie gentleman who has made the first report is on the floor and declines to yield. Mr. Banks appealed from the decision of the Chair. After further discussion the appeal was laid on the table. Mr. Reagan presented a conference report on the River and Harbor bill, nnd after it was read he proceeded to make some explanation nf it. He admitted that the aggregate amount appropriated in the bill wbb about $7,000,000; it also contained a provision to pay $750,000 to Uaptain hails lor the jetties at tlie mouth nf the Mississippi and made some alterations in the terms of the contract with him, requiring the Bame depth as the original contract re quired, but not the same width, and also paying him lor each loot 01 dcpin instead of each two feet. It also contained a pro vision for a bridge over the Arkansas river at Little Book. He was questioned particularly about tho Eads matter, and made a long explanation on the subject. Mr. Hanna demanded the yeas and navs on the adoption of the report, re marking that that was tho only mode ot members recording their protests againsi the bill. The yeas and nays were ordered and taken, and resulted yeas lUi, nnj's bz. So the report was agreed to. llie House then tooK a recess tin nine o'clock. Evoauig Session.

The discussion was ngoia interrupted to allow Mr. Blount to present tlie conlerence report of the Deficiency hill. The report was read, and without explanation agreed to. The Seward impeachment case was resumed and Mr. Bundy concluded his argument and advocated sending the whole cascto the Judiciary committee, and let ting mat comniitiee say wnctiierai-iieies 01 impeachment can be maintained, and if so, let thein formulate them.

The accusations ceased to be as sertions and opinions of honest men and became Blandera of foiled and beaten suborners of corruption. The country, which had been deceived by the apparent earnestness and honesty of Tilden and his agents, began to realize the intense hypoc risy of all that Marble had written and Pelton had circulated. This fabric of alleged fraud, thus fallen, was what the reported the majority is endeavoring to build up again and upon tne olu lounda- tions. No wonder, then, that they preferred to make a separate report on the deny that it was even attempted by peaceful methods. Resolutions of conventions for Northern consumption were passed, but fruud and violence were resorted to and even both inflicted. We assert that supporters of Tilden to carry that election did resort to most open, illegal voting, fraud and personal violence. After reciting the duties of the Heturn-ing Board, the report goes on to criticise the conduct of the Florida Board. Threats of personal violence in the State were made against a member of the Returning Board by Democrats and lie was followed by armed men at night to his house from sessions of the canvassers, and a distinguished representative of the Democratic party endeavored to influence his action by oilers of money.

Colonel Pelton, whose appearance before the committee was really pitiable, seemed to have been selected to bear the largest Bhare of the burden. Mr. Manton Marble occupied a different situation. He had, prior to Oc tober, 1878, taken a conspicuously hightoned position. He had written the Ark and Shechaniah letter and had otherwise conducted himself loftily before mankind. He could not, therefore, avoid an attempt to preserve himself. It was not for him to take the bold position of Mr. Smith Weed, that it was right to use stolen goods from robbers. Such an ark of refuge would have wrecked hira long before reaching Ararat. Nevertheless the committee had two propositions to buy the Florida Return- Tilden electors, including those bearing gifts, among all the supporters of Tilden electors in 1 lorida in attendance, including those who threatened assassination, with the aid of private detectives, who, in consultation with the majority of the committee, have been hunting for testimony, no one has been found to testify to a fact bearing against the honesty and fairness of the Republican mem- Ders ot tne uoard oi state canvassers ot Florida. The attack on GcnorsLNoyes is denounced as unwarranted, there being no evidence that he held any questionable communication witli any of the State Canvassers. As to the result of the Florida election, adopting the rule contended for by tne majority report, mat the canvassing Board could only canvass the county returns by aggregating the vote appearing upon their face for the respective candidates, Hayes electors had forty majority.

La Franco says significantly, the rumor of the approaching conversion of five per cent, rentes was promulgated by men notoriously intimate with Leon Say. An other correspondent says the conversion would have become a necessity ot the Budtret committee had it declared there for by electing German President.

The Supreme Court has given a decision in favor of the city, affirming the and passed the House bill to promote education of the blind. , ft appropriates 50.UU0. Mr. Allison made a report from the com mittee of conference on disagreeing to the amendments to the Hlvcr and Harbor bill, and it was agreed tn. On motion ot Mr, nruce, Chairman ot the committee on the Mississippi Levees, the Senate took up the House bill reported by linn ti-om that committee, providing for the organization of a Mississippi Improvement Commission, the deepening of that river ond protection of alluvial lands. It appropriates $250,000 for the payment of expenses and for surveys. The work is to be executed from time to time as appropriations may be made for the purpose. The senate disagreed to tne motion oi Mr. Chandler to lay the bill on the table- yeas lti, nays 34. Mr. Edmunds said it was necessary there should be a brief Executive session, and made a motion accordingly. Disagreed to. HOUSE. The first hour was pnssed in disposing of Borne of the business on the Sneaker's table. Hills in relation to the Northern Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads were referred to the committee of tho Whole; hi Is relating to homestead settlements on public lands within railroad limits were passed ; the conference report on the Fortification bill was agreed to by a strict parly vote. The report of the committee on Expenditures in the State Department for the impeachment of George F. Seward, was then taken up. Mr. Conger tried to interpose a motion to refer the Seward impeachment case to the Judiciary committee, hut the Speaker refused lo recog-nizo hira, ruling that Mr. Springer was entitled to tlie lloor. The report of the majority of the committee on Expenditures in tlie Stnto Department was then read. It presents seventeen articles of impeachment against George F. beward, and concludes with a resolution directing thnt said Seward lie impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors while in office; providing for the appointment nt bcvcii members to proceed immediately to the bar of the Senate and there impeach said Seward in the name of the House nnd people of the United States, ond for the appointment of seven managers to maintain and support impeachment procced-cecdings in the Senate. The views of the minority were then read. Theyrecite tlie diflicnltics ol the position of tlicShanghai Consulate in the early years of Seward's administration of the office, when he was young and inexperienced; the inadequacy of clerical assistance furnished him, and that Seward was justified in retaining those books, and yet the fact of his retaining them had been made the ground for one article of impeachment. Mr. Springer said lie had been instructed to withdraw that article. Mr. Hanna suggested that the gentleman from Illinois could not withdraw it. It was before tlie House as a report from his committee. If he could withdraw it, the prosecution was by Mr. Springer, not by his committee. Mr. Banks This is a charge of viola tion of principles of the House, and such a question will interrupt any other one. It will take any member off' the floor. It is a question of the highest privilege. The Speaker DoeB the gentleman say that it can interrupt a question of im- peacnmeill ill 11 lunuu niueert Mr. Banks I sav it unreservedly and unquestionably liccauso it concerns the privileges of the House and the liberty of a citizen. Mr. Garfield There is a proceeding begun in the first place to bring n party before the House lor contempt, and he ib under arrest. He is logically, technically in ourcustody. Our hand is upon him. He is by us restrained of his liberty. While thnt restraint is still on him, a popnsitinn is made to impeach him. First, it is a question of personal liberty, and then a question of judicial proceedings against him. The "personal liberty" feature is the higher privilege. It ought to lie heard first. The man ought to be free when we proceed to impeach him, to put htm "in chains." To strike him when he Is in chains, to say that we will follow the law nf Khodamanthus, punish and then hear, is not American law, is not American liberty. Mr. Sparks of Illinois Is the man re strained of his liberty? Mr. Garfield Yes. Mr. Sparks I see liim sitting in (he diplomatic gallery yonder; he looks free. Afler further discussion of the point, in which practices of the courts of law were relerred to, the Speaker said the 1 Hair doesunt propose to discuss court practice. In such proceedings as have been cited the duty of the Chair is to administer the rules only. If left to his own volition the Chair would prefer to go at once to tlie decision of the qilestion that detains n citizen in custody. But tho House haB decided to consider tlie report presented by the gentleman from Illinois (Springer). That gentleman Ib on the floor discussing the question, nnd the rules do not allow him to his appropriation of certain consulnr fees be taken off the lloor except in a manner as provided by the rules. That is, by a motion to adjourn, entertaining a motion to reconsider or a conlerence report. The Chair therefore decides that it is not com petent for one committee to interfere with a repon irom anouicr coniriimee, wnen tlie gentleman who has made the first report is on the floor and declines to yield. Mr. Banks appealed from the decision of the Chair. After further discussion the appeal was laid on the table. Mr. Reagan presented a conference report on the River and Harbor bill, nnd after it was read he proceeded to make some explanation nf it. He admitted that the aggregate amount appropriated in the bill wbb about $7,000,000; it also contained a provision to pay $750,000 to Uaptain hails lor the jetties at tlie mouth nf the Mississippi and made some alterations in the terms of the contract with him, requiring the Bame depth as the original contract re quired, but not the same width, and also paying him lor each loot 01 dcpin instead of each two feet. It also contained a pro vision for a bridge over the Arkansas river at Little Book. He was questioned particularly about tho Eads matter, and made a long explanation on the subject. Mr. Hanna demanded the yeas and navs on the adoption of the report, re marking that that was tho only mode ot members recording their protests againsi the bill. The yeas and nays were ordered and taken, and resulted yeas lUi, nnj's bz. So the report was agreed to. llie House then tooK a recess tin nine o'clock. Evoauig Session. The Senate amendments totlicpostroute bill were taken from the Sneaker's table nnd concurred in. Mr. Sparks asked leave to have the Senate amendments to til Arrears of Pension bill taken from tli table and concurred in. Mr. Roberts ob jected The Seward impeachment case was then taken up, and Mr. Bundy presented an arganient ngaiust the Springer report. The discussion was ngoia interrupted to allow Mr. Blount to present tlie conlerence report of the Deficiency hill. The report was read, and without explanation agreed to. The Seward impeachment case was resumed and Mr. Bundy concluded his argument and advocated sending the whole cascto the Judiciary committee, and let ting mat comniitiee say wnctiierai-iieies 01 impeachment can be maintained, and if so, let thein formulate them. Debate ensued, and finally Mr. Conger moved to lay the articles of impeachment on the table. Negatived yeas 111, navs 138. Mr. Potter presented the report of his committee, the views ot the minority nnd of one member, Butler.

Mr. Springer amid rnes ot order trnm the Republican side anid that It might he as well to tlo that as to do anything else. It the oilier side intended to hllihustci' until twelve o'clock to-morrow for the pur-, pose of preventing one of their party friends Irom being brought to the bar of the House it could do so, and take the responsibility for it. The Potter report had to be wilh-drawn because the Republicans insisted, on having tlie report with the views of the minority read. The minority report on tho Seward Impeachment, case, referring tne wnoie suoject 10, ne judiciary com of impeachment of Seward, and there were yens 109, nays 17, no quorum, the Republicans generally having declined to vote.

Ten suits were filed to-day against Father Edward Purcell, for amounts aggregating some $83,000.
